About Me

I have a degree in radiological medical physics, a wonderful husband, an awesome little boy and a darling foster daughter. I've finished my first novel (a time-travel romance set in Scotland), revised the heck out of it, and am currently querying agents.

Hey, I'm back (again--doesn't it seem I start a lot of my posts that way? Indicative, I guess...) and I'm actually posting this from the midst of the KYRW meeting on Social Media Marketing, led by our very own Maddie James. She's blogged on the topic, here:

Very informative. I'm at the point now where I'll be delving back into the world of all my social networks and online presence as I send my book out into the wide world to try to find a home.

Yes! The final draft is complete, the Golden Heart entry submitted, and queries will be going out this week if all goes well.

Meant to get to it a little sooner (though still after the holidays) but the truth is, I've been buried beneath a huge load of LIFE and am just now starting to clamber up on top of the pile. It doesn't help that my mild SAD has kicked in, making me extremely exhausted by the time we get the kids--yes, there are still 2--in bed and thus eliminating my primary computer time (10pm-midnight). But I have cleared my queue of other projects, AND my inbox (from 212 down to 30 last night!), and the book is Back On Top. That is, until the new accelerator goes in--early February--but you should know me and external deadlines by now...I have a narrow window to get the queries out before I get bogged again. So there's my motivation. *g*

Alec & Elspeth

One Highland Night

When a meteoritic crystal opens a wormhole on the grounds of ruined Kilchurn Castle in the Scottish Highlands, trapping American physicist Elizabeth Martin over 300 years in the past, her cheating ex-fiancé becomes the least of her worries. Pursued by the politically avaricious Earl of Breadalbane, who wants to use her “Sight” to further his consolidation of power, her only choice is to take refuge with an outlaw clan—a temporary measure until she can find a way to return to her own time.

That’s the plan, at least, until she finds in Alec MacGregor, her handsome protector, a love worth giving up everything she’s ever known.

But it is the late seventeenth century, and while Scotland is torn by the power struggles between supporters of the exiled King James and the English who would seek to rule them, she and Alec are swept into the intrigues of Earls and Kings, and events that could take their lives…or separate them forever.
